* This one-off wingless plane is called a Maratuech, after its builder, French inventor Fernand Maratuech, who put it together in 1922. PreWarCar this week reported that, after several decades in storage, it is now restored and running thanks to Fondation du Patrimoine, a French heritage foundation.

Ernie Adams is the guy on the right left in the above photo, and while he’s a tall guy, he appears even more so standing next to the 7/10-scale 1939 Chevrolet that he built from scratch and powered with a Toyota Corolla drivetrain. Michael Lamm wrote the story on why and how Adams built the car for SIA #139, January 1994.
